*{{TCG|Luxury Ball}} - Luxury Ball is like {{TCG|Bebe's Search}} but not a Supporter; can only be used once per game, though.  Useful for getting out Claydol, or whatever else the player may need at any given time.

*{{TCG|Rare Candy}} - Rare Candy allows a player to skip from a basic Pokémon to a Stage 2, without the Stage 1 Pokémon that is usually necessary.  Since Mother Flygon runs two Stage 2 evolution lines, those being {{TCG ID|Rising Rivals|Flygon|5}} and {{TCG ID|Rising Rivals|Nidoqueen|30}}, Rare Candy is extremely helpful in getting set up quickly.

*{{TCG|Expert Belt}} - Expert Belt is a {{TCG|Pokémon Tool card}} that gives a Pokémon an additional 20 HP and allows its attacks to do 20 more damage.  In some decks, Expert Belt is not a good option, as it gives the opponent two prize cards instead of one when the Pokémon Expert Belt is attached to is Knocked Out.  However, since Flygon has plenty of HP to begin with, and Nidoqueen provides a healing effect, Expert Belt is a strong addition to this deck.

*{{TCG|Premier Ball}} -  
*{{TCG|Premier Ball}} - Premier Ball is used to search for {{TCG ID|Rising Rivals|Flygon LV.X|105}}.  It is especially useful if Flygon LV.X has just been knocked out, and the player brings up another {{TCG ID|Rising Rivals|Flygon|5}} that they wish to level up.
*{{TCG|Pokémon Communication -  
*{{TCG|Pokémon Communication}} - Pokémon Communication is essentially {{TCG|Bebe's Search}} in Trainer form.  Since Mother Flygon runs a large amount of Pokémon cards, and needs to search for many Evolution cards, this is a useful card to have.
*{{TCG ID|Platinum|Broken Time-Space|104}} - This card is crucial to setting up fast, since it can allow players to get {{TCG ID|Great Encounters|Claydol|15}} and multiple {{TCG|Beedrill}} out early in the game.
*{{TCG ID|Platinum|Broken Time-Space|104}} - This card is crucial to setting up quickly, since it can allow players to get {{TCG ID|Great Encounters|Claydol|15}}, {{TCG ID|Rising Rivals|Nidoqueen|30}}, and {{TCG ID|Rising Rivals|Flygon|5}} out early in the game.


===Energy Cards===
===Energy Cards===
*{{TCG ID|Majestic Dawn|Call Energy|92}} - Useful in the early game for setting up.
*{{TCG|Call Energy}} - Useful in the early game for setting up.  Also able to be used for any of Flygon's attacks, since Flygon uses only {{e}} energy.
*{{TCG ID|EX Holon Phantoms|Grass Energy|105}} - Used to power {{TCG ID|Great Encounters|Beedrill|13}}'s ''Band Attack''.
*{{TCG|Double Colorless Energy}} - An extremely useful card in Mother Flygon.  Allows Flygon to attack with ''Power Swing'' after only two turns of energy attachments.  Also compatable with Nidoqueen, since ''Ruthless Tail'' costs {{e|Psychic}}{{e}}{{e}}.
*{{TCG|Psychic Energy}} - Compatable with both Flygon and Nidoqueen.  Also provides Nidoqueen with free retreat when attached to Flygon due to its ''Rainbow Float'' {{TCG|Poké-BODY}}.
*{{TCG|Fighting Energy}} - Provides Claydol with free retreat when attached to Flygon.

*{{TCG ID|Stormfront|Cherrim|14}} - Cherrim can add an extra 10 damage onto ''Band Attack'', allowing it to reach 130 damage and potentially get tough KOs such as {{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Kingdra|7}} and {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Machamp|20}}.
*{{TCG ID|Secret Wonders|Gardevoir|7}} - Although this brings the Stage 2 count in the deck to three different lines, Gardevoir can be a very effective tech.  With its ''Telepass'' Poké-POWER, it can let Mother Flygon abuse multiple {{TCG|Supporter card}}s each turn, provided the opponent has them in the discard pile.  Additionally, it can take advantage of the Psychic and Double Colorless Energy already in the deck with ''Psychic Lock''.  Although it decreases the Mother Flygon's initial consistency, it provides a powerful boost once up and running.
*{{TCG|PlusPower}} - PlusPower has the same function as Cherrim; it is easier to use but only works once.
 
*{{TCG|Super Scoop Up}} - Some Speedrill variants use Super Scoop Up to bring back heavily damaged Beedrill to the hand and play them down again with {{TCG|Broken Time-Space}}, effectively removing all damage from them.
*{{TCG|Upper Energy}} - Upper Energy was used in place of {{TCG|Double Colorless Energy}} before the release of the {{TCG|HeartGold & SoulSilver}} expansion.  Players wishing to still use as many special energy cards as possible for a chance at attacking faster may still choose to swap out Psychic or Fighting energies for Upper.  The downside to this is that Upper Energy is susceptible to {{TCG ID|Majestic Dawn|Porygon-Z LV.X|100}}'s ''Mode Crash'' and [[Scizor (Steelix Standard Deck 8)|Scizor Prime]]'s ''Red Armor'' Poké-BODY.
